LAST Friday A. ID. Pearce came home
from Plainfied with load of grain, which
he took to the grist-mill to unload. In at
tempting to take the horse by the bits to
guide him in turning, the animal became
frightened and ran backwards few PAGES,
dropping the hind wheels of the heavy
wagon over the embankment the lower side
of the road The impetus given the load,
together with its weight, was too much for
the horse, and he was pulled backwards
over the enbankment and down the steep
declivity until the whole landed on the
rocks in the mill-stream, twenty feet or
more below. Lon would have sold his
horse cheap about that time, but, strange as
it may seem to those acquainted with the
a
scratch. Two boys were riding on the load,
but both jumped as it went over the bank
and escaped unhurt. The only damage
done was a pair of broken wagon-shafts.
